They can, however, have an unlimited number of game appearances by their relief pitchers, just as in our league.
I guess I almost get it, but...
NO starter on the planet is gonna start 162 games -- and no reliever on the planet is gonna relieve 162 games in a year.
My question is, what's the difference, tho?
We designate 6 SP's to share 162 games (max)... We have what, 5 RPs -- none of whom can "play" more than 162 times/ year... so how is THAt "unlimited"? RPs rack up games much quicker than SPs, and technically, since no team plays more than 162 games/ year... I still don't get how RP appearances can be "unlimited"...
A Starter won't play that many, but 162 games are divided amongst all your staters. At the same time, tho, a Reliever cannot play that many either -- so why aren't RP appearances limited?
